billinjah 0 Posted May 22, 2005 today ill be finishing the oil cooler off, then attempting to make a replacement locking wheel nut key out of an old socket using my angle grinder. just had a blinding idea i could push bluetac into the wheel bolt to get an imprint of the key!

randal 0 Posted May 22, 2005 Finally got around to fitting my suspension today, after about a year of waiting! 40mm drop makes such a difference, very pleased with the results overall. It's sooo much easier doing these jobs when you've got a proper workshop, ramps, airline etc.. to hand - I'm eternally endebted to the guy that allowed me to use it! Saw a very nice camper van there too, not to mention some glorious old e-types. Few pics in here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 22, 2005 Got my Grey G60 through it's MOT yesterday.... all I needed to do was change the numberplate light bulbs... 8) Got home, put on the handbrake and BANG! the cable snapped... :roll: still, at least I got the certificate FIRST so I can tax the thing on Monday... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted May 22, 2005 fitted my interior. that feels better!! fitted my ULTRA-RARE Porsche RS BBS steering wheel too. it may have pink bits on it, but the purple bits match my car and it's too rare to re-trim or re-dye so it's staying gay.

gradeAfailure 0 Posted May 22, 2005 Fitted new oil cooler (std) and Neuspeed stat - filled it up with coolant and discovered that the pipes on the GSF cooler are marginally smaller than those on the original one and it's leaking... :mad: Mind you, I suppose it's my fault for not fitting worm-drive hose clamps instead of the VW spring-type ones... Also discovered that the plastic coolant pipe junction at the front of the block is damaged and leaks now, so car is undriveable and I have to pull a sicky for work tomorrow so I can get it fixed... Swore copiously in the process and threatened her with being sold unless she behaves from now on... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted May 22, 2005 Swore copiously in the process and threatened her with being sold unless she behaves from now on... i did that first thing this morning when as soon as i put my hand in the engine bay i cut my finger :( went ok after that though!

PhatVR6 0 Posted May 22, 2005 have you got a pic i like bbs wheels but its really hard to find real ones it seems an origional rs one sounds gorgeous pink bits or not! the middle bit is actually quite a lot darker than it loks int hose pics, its onlt eh end bits that are pink. my mate reckons it's off a really limited edition RS, and they only made 10!?!? not sure if that's true or not. can't complain for £30.
